The courtyard wall where the red line that Gao Ziwen pointed to was broken is the same location as the place where Gao Ziwen, who appeared in front of Mo Shouchen's window last night, disappeared. Is it a coincidence, or is there some connection between the two?

Mo Shouchen preferred the latter, but he didn't have time to think about this problem because his first priority now was to go to Jiang Wei's room to find the booklet.

Jiang Wei seemed to attach great importance to the red line, so as soon as he heard that there was a break, he limped out of the yard with a ladder.

Gao Ziwen stood at the entrance of the courtyard and winked at Mo Shouchen, which meant that she was here to guard Mo Shouchen.

Mo Shouchen made an OK gesture and then slipped into the brick house where Jiang Wei lived.

The interior of this brick house is similar to the one where Mo Shouchen lived. There is a hall at the entrance, with two bedrooms on both sides of the hall.

Gao Ziwen said that Jiang Wei lived in the bedroom on the left, so the one opposite should be occupied by Gao Ziwen.

Mo Shouchen walked to Jiang Wei's bedroom door. The door was closed. He prayed in his heart not to lock the door, otherwise his plan would be ruined.

He held the door handle and pressed it. The door opened, and a smell similar to burning paper came out of the room.

Mo Shouchen looked back at the yard. Gao Ziwen was standing at the door looking out. It seemed that Jiang Wei was busy repairing the broken rope and would not be back for a while.

He pushed the door open and got in. This bedroom was as big as Jiang Xinrong's bedroom, but it was full of stuff. In addition to a single bed, there were two old wooden tables and a half-person high table.

Wood cabinet.

There was a kerosene lamp and pen and paper on one of the tables. Each piece of paper was full of writing. Although he was curious, Mo Shouchen knew that these were not his goals, so he just glanced at them and walked over.

In front of another table.

This table is the same size as the previous table, but it is filled with all kinds of strange things. There are beakers and alcohol stoves that are only found in the chemistry room, test tubes filled with liquids of different colors, and animals that cannot be identified.

Skulls, and many other things that cannot be named.

Unexpectedly, this Jiang Wei is also a scientific research enthusiast, but the things he studies are a bit weird, and at first glance, they seem to be unconventional and evil.

There is also an incense burner placed on the inside of the table. The ashes inside are dark red, and the smell like burning paper comes from this incense burner.

There was nothing on this table that Mo Shouchen wanted. He opened the wooden cabinet again. The first thing that caught his attention was a bundle of red hemp rope on the first floor. It was the same bundle of Jiang Xinrong on the courtyard wall.

Plant hemp rope.

There was an old-fashioned enamel basin on the second floor. Mo Shouchen took the basin out and found that it was filled with the same dark red ashes as the incense burner.

There are two shoe boxes side by side on the third floor. They are full of gadgets that I don’t know what they are used for. The pamphlet Gao Ziwen mentioned was not found here.

There are no tables or cabinets, so the only thing left to hide anything in this room is the single bed.

The bedding on the bed was very neat. Mo Shouchen was afraid of leaving any traces, so he didn't dare to turn over it. He could only touch it bit by bit with his hands from beginning to end, but he touched it back and forth twice, and even searched under the bed, but still

The booklet was not found.

Will Jiang Wei always carry the brochure with him? If so, it would be a bit tricky.

"Dad, be careful!"

Gao Ziwen's shout came from outside, and Mo Shouchen knew that this was reminding him that Jiang Wei was almost done and asked him to hurry up.

He retreated to the door, and then scanned every corner of the bedroom. Finally, he found that under the table where the incense burner was placed, there was a brick that was a little higher than the other bricks. If he didn't look carefully, he would have noticed it at all.

No.

Mo Shouchen walked over and knelt down and pressed it with his fingers. The brick was lifted up a little. Then he exerted force with his fingers and the whole brick was lifted up. A booklet that looked to be quite old was pressed against it.

underneath the bricks.

found it!

Mo Shouchen felt happy, and he carefully took out the booklet. This booklet had no cover, and it felt like it was just a part of a certain book.

There is a red flower drawn on the first page of the book. The stems and leaves of the flower are somewhat similar to the unknown plants planted in the yard, but the flower part may have become a little blurred due to long-term friction, so it cannot be seen clearly.

clear.

But looking at the outline of the entire flower, Mo Shouchen always felt as if he had seen it somewhere before.

He briefly flipped through the back, and found that almost every page contained pictures and text. Because he was pressed for time, he did not read the content carefully.

"Dad, the ladder is a bit shaky, be careful when you come down!"

It seems that Jiang Wei has already repaired the hemp rope, and he must hurry up, otherwise he will be stuck in the house and be doomed.

Mo Shouchen took out his mobile phone and quickly took photos of each page. Fortunately, this booklet only had about ten pages. If it was a thick book, he would have to give up.

After taking the photo, he put the booklet back to its original place and pressed it with bricks. When he left the room and walked to the yard, Jiang Wei happened to step into the yard door with the ladder.

"What are you doing standing at the door of my house!"

Seeing Mo Shouchen standing in front of his house, Jiang Wei asked suspiciously.

Mo Shouchen pointed to the water tank at the door and said, "Let me see if there is any water in this tank."

"Didn't you just fill the tank in the morning? The tank is not leaking, how could it run out of water so quickly!"

"Yeah, I just remembered that I just fetched water in the morning. I used to use tap water, but now it's replaced by well water. I'm still a little uncomfortable with it."

"Dad, it's time to make dinner. What would you like to eat tonight?" Gao Ziwen quickly came over and changed the subject.

"Oh, you can make whatever you want. I don't have much appetite, so I can't eat much."

After Jiang Wei returned the ladder to the warehouse, he did not continue to question Mo Shouchen. It seemed that he had gotten through it in a fool's errand.

Gao Ziwen walked to the kitchen and made a questioning expression to Mo Shouchen. Mo Shouchen secretly made an OK gesture to tell her that the matter was settled.

After returning to his room, Mo Shouchen couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone. Because he was in a hurry, the photos were not very clear, but if he looked carefully, he could still see the content clearly.

Mo Shouchen looked through the photos one by one. He found that each page of the booklet recorded a kind of evil magic. However, two of the pages were darker and older. He could tell at a glance that they would be read frequently.
